Meet the designer

Katie calls it her third child.

"It began with an idea, a business plan and winging it as we went."

Sydney George was founded by Katie, a designer with a lifelong love of the different, the unique and the quietly confident. What began as a personal project has grown into a range of leather handbags for women who know what they want: pieces with presence, made to last.
